Hearing from our neighbors
At our annual Fairview Fish Fry we invited people to write a brief prayer on a ribbon and connect it to the prayers of others. Lots of prayers for peace, the neighborhood, our nation's leaders, and for loved ones.
We also asked people what Fairview could offer that they might be interested in. 75% of people responding chose "Meet your neighbors of different race, ethnicity, and gender identities" followed closely by "Meet your neighbors of different faith backgrounds."
"Faith topics: life after death, prayer, caring for God’s creation, etc." were chosen by about 25% of people responding.
